Given the fact that there is another free weekend starting, it might be something to reinitialize that capability or specific advancement blocks on their servers.

Given that they just patched 1.2 on the PTS with some updates and that there are still bugs, I doubt we'll see it coming out. Even then, it would likely be pushed with the usual Tuesday updates. Originally Posted by rogerwilko

Probably has something to do with the free weekend. Tuesday's patch said something about correcting access for the free weekend players, which sounded to me like maybe a few still had game access.

Nice, gives any who missed last weekend a chance to try it again. I am impressed with how proactive EA BioWare has been trial-wise. Originally Posted by Dakia

"Newbs" can be frustrating at times but we were all newbs at one point or another. While some servers may be getting crowded, TOR needs to keep fresh blood coming in and "free" trials are one of the most effective ways of doing it. Originally Posted by Sumatran

I hope it's not large. I went over my bandwidth again and it takes forever to download anything now

From what I have seen with the last one, free weekends are just a flood from "other" mmo's. I would say 5 out of 10 ppl are genuinely interested in swtor, and the other half are just there to troll, talk shit, and try their hardest to make the game as unfun as they can while they are around.
I would have no problem with new blood. The problem is it's poisoned blood.
Maybe I am just too cynical :/

I wonder why they keep doing free weekends? Are they struggling with population? It seems like quite a few people enjoy it. I even have an account. Its a great game.

Well according to John's own comments, it appears that TOR's subscription base plateaued around 1.7 million even before the end of January. Once your numbers start "settling," one of the most effective ways to keep fresh blood coming in is to offer "free" trials in order to reach the segment of the market that was unwilling to purchase but are still interested enough to try the game if given the opportunity.

Probably a bit of both. EA needs to get off its butt and put TOR in China, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan long before MoP hits or they could be in trouble gaining traction there. Originally Posted by moff

Although it leads to nubs in Warzones for 10-49 PVP, I welcome all the newcomers. More people is always good for an MMO regardless.
Now if only I could get them to roll on my server to bump the population up >.>
